DESCRIPTION:The Plurilingual Lab Speaker Series event with Dr. Saskia Van V
 iegen\, from York University – Roots and Routes to Belonging and Participa
 tion: Translanguaging as Pedagogy with Youth from Refugee Backgrounds\n\nC
 hildren and youth who have experienced forced displacement and migration f
 ace formidable challenges of social and educational integration in host co
 untries. Resettling in and entering local school systems requires rapid de
 velopment of new language and literacy skills to stay abreast of same-age 
 peers in school\, particularly for those who have had limited or interrupt
 ed access to formal schooling prior to their arrival. At the same time\, t
 heir cultural and linguistic identities and funds of knowledge are critica
 l resources for learning. Sharing insights from case study research conduc
 ted in a Canadian secondary school with youth from refugee backgrounds\, I
  present how students and their teachers actively engaged a multitude of s
 emiotic resources – a fluid mixing across languages and modes of communica
 tion and meaning making – in an open and porous process of navigating bord
 ers and boundaries of language and linguistic identity. I explore approach
 es to educational integration and resettlement wherein teachers work to va
 lorize linguistic competence and accelerate new language learning – both r
 oots and routes to belonging\, civic engagement and full participation in 
 a new social and educational context.\n\nSaskia Van Viegen is an Assistant
  Professor in the Department of Languages\, Literatures and Linguistics at
  York University. Her research focuses on language in education\, bi/multi
 lingualism and biliteracy. Her current projects explore multilingual asses
 sment\, youth language and literacy practices\, and multilingual universit
 y contexts. Recently\, she coedited (with Sunny Lau) the book Plurilingual
  Pedagogies: Critical and Creative Undertakings for Equitable Language (in
 ) Education\, to be published for Springer Educational Linguistics series.
 \n\nThis event is co-organized by BILD and ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ's Faculty of Education's
  Department of Integrated Studies in Education (DISE) Research Talks.\n
